Howdy folks!

We were planning to to do the Aug 30th 4 day on the Wonder, then doing 5 days in the parks... but we needed to alter the itinerary, and will now just be doing the World from Aug 30 to Sept 7.

If anyone is in town...

You will just be missing a bunch of us that will be in the parks various dates from August 12 through 23.

Man I'm so envious of all of you taking Disney trips this year... This will be the longest since I met Steve without a Disney trip of some sort! We will likely go an entire year without a trip unless we decide to squeeze one to Disneyland in in the fall....

You have a very good reason for not taking a trip. When's the little one due? You're a brave soul for considering a Fall trip with an infant.

Just thought I'd share this with all of you.....

Most of you know my mother made both my Tia Dalma and DS's Ragetti costumes. But did you know she did this without ever seeing the movies? She worked off a few pictures that I printed up for her.

Well, Dead Man's Chest was on this week and she caught some of it, enough to see each of our characters. She was shocked to see how well she did. She didn't know the characters names but knew right away which ones to look for because her costumes were so right on.

I hugged her and thanked her again for doing such a great job. I love my mommy!!!

Hi, Everyone

For those of you going the Baltic next year - there is a Canadian Travel writer writing a live blog right now. He just wrote about St. Petersburg.

Thought it might be of interest to some of you.

Thanks, Steph. I fixed them - it didn't like the double http:// - off to fix them over on the Dummy cruise thread.

The baby's due July 2nd! Less than 3 weeks already! Our fall trip will likely not be a Disney trip anyhow... We're planning on going to Chicago to see my inlaws and Michigan to see my BIL and SIL and their new baby (she's due the beginning of Sept) We'll see which trip (Disney or Chicago) sounds better when the time comes to book though LOL!

Great write up by Phil Reimer (a Canadian Travel Writer) about what to see and do in Copenhagen. With recommendations from a Canadian living in Copenhagen.

Just a reminder that you can view, order or download photos from our photo sharing site located at http://thepiratezone.smugmug.com

We purchased access to the picture site for one year, so at the end of July it will go away. There are many, many wonderful photos (over 12,000 of them) and I encourage you to take advantage while its there.


Posting this again to help you out

Exactly!


Although too many things happened in May -- I think I emailed you and told you what was going on -- and we had to cancel all of our trip plans in May & June, Family reunion didn't count.

We are now hoping to add either another Fall trip (we are already doing WDW in Spet/Oct) or a trip in Dec or Jan.

Our 30th anniversary is at the end of the year and Jon would like him & I to do something.....he thinks we should do DCL without the kids..... we'll see. I am just not up to planning another trip for us. I did so much reading and researching for May/June trips that I don't even care! LOL!

Hey guys,
Since we lost all of our first week of pictures, I am re-creating our trip without us being in the pictures. I am looking for some pictures of the Girl/Boy Scout patch swap. I didn't see any on the pirate picture sight, so I am hoping that someone has some and could pm me?

Thanks!
